This website is a research tool for a group of design health researchers at Adelaide University interested in the intersection between design and health technologies and future care provision. We work through interdisciplinary collaborative practices with a particular focus on enabling lived experiences of all kinds.

Minda Masterplan Development
Why: Creating communities that are genuinely inclusive of people with intellectual disability requires critical reflection on how design shapes belonging, safety, and participation. Public and architectural spaces are never neutral; the choices made in their design can empower some people while unintentionally excluding others. This project responds to the need to rethink what ‘inclusion’ means in practice, and how the built environment can actively support dignity, agency, and community life for people with intellectual disability.
